Club career

Born in Lisbon, Dias spent four years with local and national giants Sporting CP (youth teams included), but could never appear for more than the reserves as a senior. He first competed in the second division at the age of already 25, with neighbours C.D. Olivais e Moscavide, playing 15 games as the team was immediately relegated to the third level.

In the following years, Dias played in Bulgaria – only a couple of months, after which he returned to his previous club – and Romania, spending his second season with FC Gloria Buzău in Liga II. In summer 2010 he returned to his country and joined another side from the capital, Atlético Clube de Portugal, appearing in all 30 matches in his first year as they were promoted to division two after an absence of several decades.

gollark: It's not like fixing buses/cars is very useful anyway. I mean, sure, there are quite a lot of instances when buses or cars may need fixing, but tons of people can do that and to some extent you can probably get away with looking it up on the internet on demand; meanwhile, assembly programmng is a rare and hard to learn skill.
gollark: Do they think the peak of human sophistication is being a car mechanic or something?
gollark: I.
